It seems that one of the first cinematographic
performances took place in France, in 1895,
with the first showings by the Lumière
brothers A film resulted from images in
movement based on previous experiments
and investigations Edison, among others,
with his inventions of the phonograph and
kinetoscope experimented on the moving
image
Showing images as entertainment is a
practice that has taken place since the 17th
century with the magic lantern Images were
watched through optic boxes: an oscillating
mirror substituted one image for another
before the watching eye
When the Lumière brothers introduced the public to their documentaries, people were already used to watching images After that, Méliès was innovative in the use of scenographic and theatre tricks in the big screen In his short films, people lost their heads, died and were reborn, or travelled to the Moon
That was the beginning of fiction and science fiction in cinema During the first decade of the 20th century, Griffith created the cinema
as we know it: full-length films, camera movement, montage, etc In the 1920s, cinema became an industry both in North America and Europe Sound cinema was born
in 1927.
